ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus is disclosed for installing a data gathering system in a checkout counter such that it extends slightly above the surface of the counter. The data gathering system defines an entry side and an exit side. Products to be processed by the system are passed from the counter to the system over the entry side of the system, processed and then passed from the system to the counter over the exit side of the system. The counter adjacent the entry side of the system is elevated such that products processed by the system pass along a downwardly stepped path from the elevated portion of the counter down to the system and then from the system down to the counter on the other side of the system. Preferably, counter elevation is performed by a tapered trim strip which is secured across the counter adjacent the entry side of the data processing system.
